How Often Should You Change Your Oil?

Oil change


Routine oil changes are vital to your vehicle’s health. Over the last decade, improvements in oil and engine technologies have helped drivers in Buford go much longer between oil changes. Most new models today have an oil change frequency between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. That said, always check your owner’s manual for specifics, and if you have questions, contact Auto Gallery Automotive Group.


Recommended Oil Change Frequency

How often should you change your oil? Some cars have a higher oil change frequency than others, and vice versa. However, the general rule of thumb is to change your oil every 7,500-10,000 miles. If your drives around Buford or Lawrenceville regularly include any of the types of driving listed below, you need to adjust your oil change frequencies accordingly:

  • Off-roading
  • Commercial use
  • Racing
  • Heavy towing
